No, it will be plate shear.

That is not what I'm asking. Double shear and single shear do not apply this. What I'm trying to figure out is the shear strength of the plate with 1 single bolt through 1 single plate. Deflection is not a factor due to bracing and such. I just need the strength of 1 bolt being pulled...

Well, that is the reason I'm asking for formulas and stuff. If you want to be a butt-head and not help, then don't post. I have understandings about physics and strengths, it's just been 20 + years since i needed them, or used them. Now that being said, ban me, delete this or whatever, All i...

it will actually have about 22.5k on it. I just want to try an figure out the force that a 1" plate could hold like that. If 1" is too thin, i'll put 2" or 3". Just trying to get info and explanations and formulas.

that the reason I wanted to know. It falls on machinery and makes a mess.

I can't. the "bolt" has 30k lbs force pulling straight down on it and I want to see if the 1" plate will support it. it is a weldment.

Homework Statement:: If you have a 1" thick steel plate (A36) with a 1.125 hole (supported at 3" half way around), what is the maximum weight that a 1" grade 8 bolt can support using a 2 to 1 safety factor. The weight is applied directly the the bolt Relevant Equations:: dunno? it's been 24...
